It's not that Qiao Yuchu didn't want to answer the phone, but she was exhausted physically and mentally, and couldn't care less about checking her phone. In addition, the victim's family members kept changing numbers to call and harass her these days, so they simply turned off the phone. clean.

Yan Xinyuan called again and again, but all he got was "Sorry, the phone of the person you dialed has been turned off".

After thinking for a while, the old man ran to a bank near the hospital with his passbook and ID card.

"Please check for me, how much money is there?"

The teller answered him.

"A total of forty-three thousand eight hundred."

These are the only savings he has left.

Yan Xinyuan remembered the conversation he had with Director Chen when he was hospitalized in Jiangcheng City.

"Doctor, if it's cancer, how much will it cost for the operation?"

Director Chen roughly told him a number.

"It's about 400,000 yuan, not counting the cost of chemotherapy."

"What if chemotherapy is added?"

"A course of treatment costs about 40,000 yuan, and the medical insurance can cover part of it."

Director Chen was afraid that he would lose heart, so he said again.

"However, if the surgery works well and the cancer cells don't spread, chemotherapy won't be needed."

That night, after returning home, he and Coach Liang also had a long talk all night.

What he meant was that the disease was too difficult to treat, and the cost of treatment was high, so it was better to just resign to fate.

Coach Liang pointed at his nose and scolded: "Old Yan, you are a little promising, okay? It's 400,000 yuan. The big deal for a man is to bite his teeth, bend his knees, go to work, and borrow money. There are so many people in our Coastal Province team." , Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to get the money together for you?!”

The teller urged.

"Can you still take it?"

Yan Xinyuan came to his senses. Fortunately, he asked the accountant for Qiao Yuchu's salary card number before he came, and handed him a note.

"Don't take it anymore, send money, send 40,000 to this card."

***

When Xie Shi'an was hospitalized, the National Swimming Championships also came to an end. Cheng Zhen participated in two events, the men's 400-meter freestyle and the 4×200-meter relay, and both won gold medals.

Full of ambition, the young man stood on the highest podium and won the cheers of the audience.

Amidst the flowers and applause, he didn't see his father who had promised him to come to watch the game. Cheng Zhen was still a little disappointed, stepped off the stage, hid in the locker room, and called him.

He prepared a full stomach to complain about him, such as breaking his promise, a big liar, and never talking to him again, unless he took himself and his mother on a long trip to forgive him and so on.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was always a cold mechanical background sound coming from the phone.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is off."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is off."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is off."

Cheng Zhen hung up the phone and muttered: "It's weird, it's not a working day, why turn off the phone."

But he was used to being careless, so he didn't think about it, he just thought he was working overtime or in a meeting again.

Cheng Zhen changed his clothes, closed the cabinet door, and was about to go out when another phone call came in.

When he saw the caller ID, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west, you actually thought of calling me."

Xie Shi'an's voice sounded serious.

"Don't be poor, is the game over yet?"

"It's over, you didn't watch the news, sir, I even broke the national record!"

There was a hint of a smile in Xie Shi'an's voice.

"It's hospitalized, I really didn't see it."

"How about you, are you feeling better? That's alright. You, with appendicitis, managed to finish the game. Why didn't Coach Yan scold you so badly?"

"I scolded, why didn't I scold me, I was almost fired, but as for me, I dare to dare next time, this is called Yigao people's boldness."

"Come on, don't be here in Versailles, go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything, tell me, what can you do to me."

Xie Shi'an hesitated, but told him about Qiao Yuchu's family.

"I still can't get out of bed and walk, and the hospital has to keep someone here to take care of me, and Yuchu's phone has been unable to get through. I was thinking, if you finish the game, can you go back first..."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Zhen agreed.

His original plan was to take a rest tomorrow and then set off home the day after tomorrow.

"No problem, then I'll reschedule the flight until tonight, and I haven't been home for a while, so it's my parents' fault."

Xie Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly.

"Orange juice, thank you."

The boy laughed heartily.

"Hey, thank you, who made the three of us friends? I want to see who dares to bully Sister Yuchu. I will go back and punch him with a left hook and a right hook. I will hit him until he kneels and begs for mercy."

Later, even after the incident had passed for a long time, Xie Shi'an was extremely regretful, why did he call him in the first place, even if he returned two days later, he didn't have to witness such a tragic scene with his own eyes.

Fate has woven a big net long before they knew nothing about it, and no one can break free from it.

After Xie Shi'an hung up the phone, someone knocked on the door of the ward.

She thought it was Yan Xinyuan who came back, so she said.

"Coach Yan, the door is unlocked, come in."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came in with a briefcase in his hand.

"You are?" She frowned suspiciously.

The other party smiled calmly, took out his business card and handed it to her, seeing that Xie Shi'an didn't answer it, he gently placed it on her bedside table.

"I'm the person in charge of the marketing department of Huacheng Trading Co., Ltd. This is how we want you to be our company's product spokesperson."

The man spoke very politely and behaved well. After handing her his business card, he immediately returned it, keeping a safe distance from her.

But Xie Shi'an did not let down his vigilance.

"I'm still in the hospital, and I can't work for the time being, please hire someone else."

"We can wait for you to be discharged from the hospital! If you don't want to shoot commercials, you can just name them, we..."

Before the words finished, Xie Shi'an interrupted him.

"Go out, if you don't leave, I'll call someone."

"Don't, don't, it's not easy to see you."

In fact, since the beginning of the national competition, she has been looking for business endorsement contracts one after another, but Xie Shi'an is not interested in these, and only wants to play well, so he rejected them all.

After she won the World Championships, she became famous, and more people were looking for her than before. It can be said that they flocked to her.

Even if you are hospitalized, you must not be clean.

In order to let her recuperate with peace of mind, Yan Xinyuan guarded outside the door every day, not letting anyone in except the medical staff.

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked honest and honest. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and put them on her bed.

"Our general manager is also a fan of yours. He named you by name and insisted on signing you as a spokesperson. Moreover, we are also a domestic company that produces sporting goods. You can read the contract first, and then we can discuss the price. We are sincere. I want to cooperate with you for a win-win situation.”

"There is my phone number on the business card. If you are interested, you can call me at any time. Then I will not disturb your rest. Let me go."

After the man finished speaking, Wei Wei bowed to her and left the ward.

Xie Shi'an looked at the stack of A4 papers he put on the bed, and wanted to throw it directly into the trash can, but for some reason, his movements froze, and he stretched his arms again, gritting his teeth and picked it up from the trash can.

When Yan Xinyuan entered the door, she heard footsteps, she stuffed the contract under the pillow in advance, and asked nonchalantly.

"Coach Yan, how's it going, have you got through?"

Yan Xinyuan shook his head sadly.

***

Before Cheng Zhen got on the plane, he also called Qiao Yuchu several times, but they were all turned off. He clicked his tongue, hung up, and called his father again, but no one answered.

"This one or two, why don't they answer the phone."

Cheng Zhen muttered, his heart beating a little, and he called his mother again, and he was finally picked up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, has my dad been busy today? He won't come to watch my game as agreed, and he won't answer his calls."

Mother Cheng laughed dryly.

"Oh, your dad, he's been very busy recently. It's said that the company has taken on a new project, so he hasn't been home for several days."

"Then you can't say nothing, really, this is my first time to win the national championship."

"I'm sorry, really, your father... really can't get away... your grandma is not in good health... Mom has to take care of her at home... wait for next time... next time you compete... Mom and Dad bring grandma, our whole family I will go with you to cheer for you, okay?"

Cheng's mother changed the subject, and became concerned about his return time.

"By the way, son, the game is over, when will you come back?"

Cheng Zhen thought she was missing herself, and didn't tell her that she would be home tonight, and planned to surprise someone directly.

"It's still early, I'm going to hang out with my teammates for a few days."

"Yes, yes, it's time to take a good rest and relax."

I don't know if it was his illusion, but there was a sense of relief in Cheng's mother's tone.

"Do you still have money to go out to play? Do you want your mother to transfer some more for you?"

Cheng Zhen immediately yelled.

"Mom! I'm eighteen! I can make money by myself. I won two championships in this competition, and there are a lot of bonuses. I bought belts and razors for my dad, skin care products for you, and grandma. I bought a shoulder and neck massager, and there are many other things, I will bring them to you when I go back."

Cheng's mother sat on the sofa at home, wiped away her tears in relief, and tried not to let him hear anything strange.

"Hey, okay, we've really grown up and know how to hurt others. If we play outside for a few more days, everything at home will be fine, so we don't need to come back in a hurry."

Cheng Zhen looked up, the boarding time was approaching, he said goodbye to his mother and hung up the phone.

"Then I won't tell you, mom, my teammates are waiting for me."

***

Just as Qiao Yuchu brought Jin Shunqi and Qiao's mother to the gate of the community, the guard poked his head out from the sentry box.

"Qiao Yuchu, there is your courier."

"Oh, well, thank you."

She took it over and saw that it was a thin document bag addressed to Jiangcheng People's Court, and her heart skipped a beat.

Mother Qiao came forward.

"Whose is it?"

Qiao Yuchu put the file bag in her bag.

"It's nothing, Mom, let's go in."

As soon as they left, the group of people squatting behind the hospital door heard the wind.

"What? Go home?! Let's go, lift my old lady up, let's go to another place."

"You can sleep in my dad's room tonight." Qiao Yuchu made the bed for someone, and brought out a new quilt from the closet.

Jin Shunqi lay on his back after taking a shower.

"Ah, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

In the few days in the hospital, although he had an accompanying bed, he gave it up to Qiao Yuchu. He just made do with the night in the corridor outside the door. Qiao Yuchu asked him to open a room in a hotel near the hospital to rest. Shun Qi was also afraid that if something happened at night if he left, Qiao Yuchu would not be able to handle it alone, so he gave up.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Yuchu also pursed her lips and smiled.

"Then you have a good rest, I'll go and stay with my mother."

Back at the familiar home, it was rare for Mother Qiao to fall asleep without taking sleeping pills. After taking a shower, she threw the quilt into bed and lay next to her mother. Just as she was about to reach out to turn off the lights, there was a sound of gongs and drums downstairs.

Depressed patients are very sensitive to such sharp voices. Mother Qiao opened her eyes and bounced off the bed.

"Who...?! Someone is here! Yuchu, someone is here!"

Qiao Yuchu also sat up, hugged her mother, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, Mom, it's okay, I'll go and have a look."

She put on her clothes and got out of bed, walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked, as expected, it was that group of people again.

Qiao Yuchu gritted her teeth immediately.

Jin Shunqi heard the voice and also came to knock on the door.

"Yuchu, should we go down and have a look?"

"What to look at, ignore them!"

She drew the curtains again with a swish.

Jin Shunqi also closed the doors and windows of several other rooms tightly.

They could turn a blind eye to it, but the other residents downstairs couldn't take it anymore. Someone called the police, and the police from the police station came soon.

The man sat down on the ground with his wife and children, and the coffin was placed towards the door of the unit. No one would touch him in this situation.

"You have affected public order..."

The man cried and cried.

"I took my dead mother to sit here, is it affecting public order? Then they killed people, why don't you say it?"

The woman also hugged the baby and cried.

"Comrade police, it's not that we're being unreasonable, it's that there's nothing we can do about it. The children are still waiting to be fed. They bumped into someone but hid and didn't see anyone. They didn't even get a penny of compensation!"

"Poor my mother! You are so wronged!"

"Don't worry, we won't go up and knock on the door, we won't conflict with them, and we won't cause trouble to the police comrades. We'll just sit here and we'll leave whenever they come down."

Some people came to watch one after another in the community.

"Just the one in unit two."

"If you hit someone to death, don't say compensation, at least apologize. What's the matter of hiding and not seeing people?"

"I have been neighbors for so many years, I really know people and faces but don't know their hearts."

"Don't tell me, the old lady of the Qiao family asked me to introduce someone to her daughter. Who would dare to be her son-in-law in such a family?"

Upstairs, Qiao Yuchu opened the curtains a little and looked at it. He became more and more angry, and suddenly turned around and walked out the door.

Jin Shunqi worried and followed.

"Yuchu, don't be impulsive!"

Qiao Yuchu turned around and forced a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll go down and talk to them, and it won't affect others."

After they left, Mother Qiao also stood up looking at the empty living room, and opened the door like a wandering soul and went downstairs.

"Come, come, come down."

Seeing her coming out, the crowd automatically parted ways.

Qiao Yuchu walked up to the family of three and stood still.

"Since there are so many people here tonight, let's just say everything clearly at once. My dad is still in the detention center, and my mom is on parole for medical treatment. Now she is recuperating at home. It's not what you said. I hit someone. , just hide and don’t see people, we don’t bother to do this kind of thing, and we can’t do it.”

"As for the specific amount of compensation, you know how much water is there. Gathering crowds around the hospital to surround the community has already affected public order. I think you are the victims, and you have been patient. Since the police are here tonight, Then let the police comrades judge and judge, is this approach right or wrong?"

The police at the police station also said.

"If the compensation is not negotiated properly, we will go to court. Gathering a crowd to make trouble is already suspected of violating the Public Security Management Punishment Law. If we don't leave, we will have to detain them all."

The two couples looked at each other, then got up from the ground, the woman held the child and spat on her again.

"Hey, don't think that I don't know what's going on in your family. Your father is cheating, your mother is mentally ill, and you are not a good person. You hook up with foreigners and you know how to cling to rich men. The whole family is ruined!"

Qiao Yu blushed when she first appeared, and was about to rush up to argue with someone, but before she could make a move, a figure rushed out from the corridor.

Mother Qiao yelled, and slammed into the coffin: "It's just a life, I just pay you all, and you will be clean!"

Tears welled up in Qiao Yuchu's eyes, and she rushed forward crying, "Mom!!"

But only one of her sleeves was caught.

The slippery fabric slipped from the palm.

At the very moment, a figure rushed up and stopped in front of the coffin. Jin Shunqi hugged him by the waist, and was knocked back a few steps, with a bang on his back, he hit the coffin board heavily.

Mother Qiao fainted to the ground.

Jin Shunqi also slipped and sat on the ground.

Qiao Yuchu scrambled and rushed over.

"Mom, Jin, you... are you all right?"

Gritting his teeth, Jin Shunqi struggled to spit out complete sentences.

"I...it's fine...see how Auntie is doing?"

Qiao Yuchu raised her head and took a look. There was no scar on her head, she probably just fainted from the stimulation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man fled the scene with the actors he had invited.

"Let's go, let's go tonight, and come to ask for money another day."

The police also started to disperse the crowd.

"It's all scattered, don't look around here."

Qiao Yuchu struggled to help her mother stand up, and after Jin Shunqi recovered, he squatted down in front of her again.

"Let me carry Auntie up."

"you…"

At that moment just now, Qiao's mother didn't have any reservations and rushed towards him with all her strength. Qiao Yuchu was afraid that he would leave some internal injuries.

Jin Shunqi smiled.

"I'm fine, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, let's put it on."
